Head to head, by character

Each ski's own read, side by side — the same three things that define how it skis.
Turn & shape
A 17.5-meter radius draws medium-to-long turns and holds a line through them; a moderate taper keeps entry manageable without giving up much grip mid-arc.
A 16.0-meter radius sits in the all-purpose range — turn shapes that shorten up or open out without committing to either; a moderate tip taper keeps turn entry easy while the shovel still engages.
Stability & dampness
Built without metal on a trueblend free woodcore, it's lighter and livelier underfoot — easy to release from a turn and quick edge to edge. At 1,880 g it stays light and maneuverable.
A titanal beam runs down the core — targeted dampening that settles the ski without the full weight of a sheet, keeping more life in the tips and tails. At 1,800 g it stays maneuverable underfoot.
Float & width
At 102 mm it leans toward soft-snow float while keeping enough edge to hold when it firms up. Rocker at tip and tail lets it smear and release easily, while the camber underfoot keeps an edge.
